Meet The Beast: How Obama is usually driven around in an armored Cadillac equipped with shotguns

The vehicle is a converted Cadillac, with reinforced doors and windows which are designed to withstand attack.

The car, which was flown over to Britain for Mr Obama's official visit, is also equipped with inbuilt pump-action shotguns and tear gas cannons.

Bottles of Mr Obama's blood are kept on board The Beast, in case he requires an emergency transfusion after coming under attack.

The President is accompanied by a large number of Secret Service agents at all time in order to avoid a repeat of the shootings of previous leaders such as John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.
